I would like to hide a module if is down (or if not a mount point for disks), for example, if wireless is down I have this:
1.8 GB Use: 88.1% | W: down | E: 192.168.1.5 (1000 Mbit/s)
I can set format_down to empty string, but in that case, the output is not so nice:
1.8 GB Use: 88.1% | | E: 192.168.1.5 (1000 Mbit/s)
Ideally I would like to have this
1.8 GB Use: 88.1% | E: 192.168.1.5 (1000 Mbit/s)
Is it possible?
Force the output to be json. It will use a newer protocol version in which empty blocks are ignored.
The output format can be set in the general section.
The simplest solution is to create a wrapper (say, /home/your-name/bin/wrapper.sh) that replaces | | with |, i.e., removes the unnecessary field:
#!/bin/bash
i3status | sed 's/| |/|/g'
Now in the config file use wrapper.sh instead of i3status.
